High price but good guide and good trip. Unfortunately the tour company still has not issued the AA points almost 3 months later. Not good business practice.
Nice trip.

Pretty nice trip. The hill of crosses is ok, the palace is very nice, a true small version of Versailles, and the castle is very cool, even though it was reconstructed. My guide Doni was very nice and knowledgeable. A bit pricey, but nice overall.
The BEST WAY to go between Vilnius and Riga

The value of this transfer is amazing! No need to mess with airports, airlines or taxis to/from. We picked up the minivan at Cathedral Square in Vilnius, made three tourist stops on the way, and arrived into Riga at 5pm. This is an UNGUIDED TOUR, but truly no one needs a guide at these three stops. We were given some very basic information about each place, which was appreciated, and then we were off on our own to explore. On the minivan was another couple and us. The departure is guaranteed, so you can book with confidence!
Wonderful experience

We very much enjoyed the Rundale Palace and the Bauska Castle but the Hill of Crosses was easily the highlight of this fantastic tour. It was extraordinarily moving. The tour guide, Adam, was absolutely the best. I highly recommend this tour.
Great use of time, great guide!

Communication was great in terms of confirming the pickup time and location, and our guide was highly knowledgeable and explained the history of each site we visited. The itinerary was well planned and the amount of activities was perfect for a day trip - We didn’t feel rushed and we also didn’t think any time was wasted. Great way to see a few sites while in transit from Vilnius to Riga!
Amazing, easy, and professional

It is a very good option not just to travel from Lithuania to Latvia, but also the opportunities to visit attractions - the Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska Castle. It is recommended to those who would like to travel from Vilnius to Rega and at the same time wish to visit the place of interest along the journey.
Good tour

Good tour. Our guide was early and took us promptly along the planned itinerary. We enjoyed the various stops. At the final stop at bauska castle he gave us a quick guided tour and we were on our way. This is a nice way to transit between Vilnius and Riga while also seeing sights in the countryside and learning about their culture.
Hill of the Crosses is a MUST SEE

The Hill of the Crosses was all I had hoped it would be. We brought five crosses from various orientations; Greek Orthodox, Turkish, Crucifix from Israel, American flag cross made by US veterans, and a Christian woven wood cross. The heat was unbearable that day, so the castles weren't as fun as then should have been.
